Re: [h-cost] Les Petites Dames de Mode

[Penny Ladnier]

Kathleen,

I am sorry for the confusion.  I have not heard if Mr. Burbidge is still 
with us or not.  The exhibit that I worked with him was in 1997 or 98.  The 
exhibit was just before or after we did the first Princess Diana gown 
exhibit.


I have heard the videotape about the dolls is really good.  It is amazing to 
me how detailed he was when making the dolls.  Going on memory... I think he 
said that he made two or three dolls a year.  The research he did for each 
doll was so intense.  The dolls are clothed even with the undergarments and 
each had their own traveling case.  My favorite were his bridal dolls.


His wife is also a master cake decorator.  At the time Mrs. Burbidge had 
been making cakes for the royals of the world.  I met her at a birthday 
party for a friend.  She made my friend's cake.  It looked so perfectly 
decorated that I hated to see it cut.  Mrs. Burbidge and I discussing my 
dabbling in cake decorating.  She told me, "Don't be upset, the decorations 
are easy to make."  She took me into the kitchen and taught me a few of her 
tricks.  What an honor!


The Burbidges are that kind of people... very laid back and love to teach 
others their crafts.  At the time, she was also making a yo-yo quilt.  Mrs. 
Burbidge carried a bag with her full of her circles for yoyos where ever 
they traveled.  She showed me a completed section of the quilt.  On the back 
of each yoyo, she stitched the date and location as to where she made it. 
She said it was her journal of their travels.

[h-cost] RE: 16th century Men's "trades person" shoe suggestions

[Marc Carlson]

A 16th century tradesman or woman should be in something that looks like one 
of these:


http://www.personal.utulsa.edu/~marc-carlson/shoe/SHOES/redbay5.html   A 
lower ranked person would have it as a turned shoe, a higher ranked person 
would have it as a double soled turned shoe, or even an unturned "welted" 
shoe.


The single piece style of shoe, a variety of which is sometimes called these 
days as a ghillie, if they were worn in the 16th century (and I can argue 
both ways on that), would have marked the wearer as an utter hick, a rural 
peasant laborer of the poorest level, as would have wooden soled shoes.

Re: [h-cost] Ming Period (1560-1580) Infantry Soldier Costume Help Needed...

[Genie Barrett]

The highway billboard showed Leslie Mundy smiling proudly and saying:


My taiji class is studying the chang dao (long sword)
form, a form used by General Qi Jiguang during the
late Ming period (1560-1580).


Snip


Can anyone out here help, please?


Try Late Imperial Chinese Armies 1520-1840 (Men-at-Arms) published by 
Osprey Publishing.  I have the earlier book, 590-1260 and like it 
rather well.  These books are thin paperbacks that cover a specific 
subject/time/battle.  The Men at Arms series is all about certain 
armies.  Ex: Medieval Eruopean Armies or El Cid and the Reconquista 
1050-1492.  They are a mix of pictures of extant armor/weapons, 
paintings/interpretations of what that armor might look like in 
color, and actual battles.  Great for a beginning point, and probably 
enough for your purposes.  They cover all ranks of soldier so this 
book should tell you what this armor really does look like.


I also have 5000 Years of Chinese Costume, but it doesn't show a 
common soldier's armor and the description leaves a lot to be 
desired.  My best interpretation is that the common soldier's armor 
was some kind of Lamalar or "interlocked iron armour."


Hope this helps,
Genie

Close...

I have a  few pairs of wide toed flat shoes with straps across the top. They
make a great base to remake into shoes of this type.

I'm going to be wearing a pair to an SCA event soon (I have hurt my feet
very badly or it would be a better alternative.)

Mind you, just last season here we had gollars for women in shops.. The
same shape and fit of early 16thC gollars (shoulder capes.)

I found it hilarious that the shoe and the gollar fashion managed to overlap

Hi all, I own the above book, and while I had done embroidery before, had 
never known of stumpwork before buying this book...it was one of those get 
ten books for a dollar deals through a book club.


I fell in love with stumpwork, it was very easy to learn from the book, 
without even tackling an entire project.
I tried some of the motifs I liked, practiced some of the stitches, and then 
using one of the projects as a guide, made my own first design.


Yeah for Stumpwork!  This month I plan on travelling to our nearest floss 
store to purchase silk floss for some projects up my sleeve...never knew 
what a difference silk floss would make, yum!

Yhanks. I will look that book up. Maybe the library has it locally. I love

Hi Becky,
You should get Helan Pierce's Dimentional Embroidery. Its a lovely book . 
All her projekts in this book are made in wool, but you can easy adapt 
them to the yarn you prefer. I translated and used Eterna stranded Silk 
Floss.
Each petal is first outlined with a thin wire, then the edge is heavily 
buttonhole stitched. Finally you stitch with short and long stitch of the 
whole petal. When all things is done, they can be cut out and sewed onto 
the foundation embroidery and this way it gets 3 dimentional. I have 2 
flower buds, 4 green leaves and 2 full blomed flowers in dimentional 
embroidery on this bag.
It really looks much more difficult than it is, i was quite surprised how 
easy it was done and also how lovely it looks when embroidery gets 
dimentional.

At our local faire, it is strongly suggested that "closed" shoes be worn, so
stuff isn't constantly getting in and also so your shoes don't inadvertently

[WickedFrau]

Wow, some of these shoes have a positively "period" feel to them...is 
this a new trend; the more pointy toe??  I am not up on current fashion 
at all.

I took it down as it was a large file and I didn't get any feedback that it
was useful. I don't like to waste space if somthing is of no benefit;) If it
was of interest, I'll put it back up.

[h-cost] Valois dress diary

I love this picture. It gives me a larger picture of the "embroidery" The
scrolled leaves overlap.
http://www.songsmyth.com/1560french/valoisforepartcloseup.jpg
Does the forepart have textured material or are those pearls?
The edge of the gowns opening in the full portraits online gave me the
impression that it was edged in pearls. Now I am not sure.
Either Coello was loose in his rendition of the embroidery or the
embroiderers were not consistent.

Re: [h-cost] ladys gusset bag

[Bjarne og Leif Drews]

Hi Becky,
You should get Helan Pierce's Dimentional Embroidery. Its a lovely book . 
All her projekts in this book are made in wool, but you can easy adapt them 
to the yarn you prefer. I translated and used Eterna stranded Silk Floss.
Each petal is first outlined with a thin wire, then the edge is heavily 
buttonhole stitched. Finally you stitch with short and long stitch of the 
whole petal. When all things is done, they can be cut out and sewed onto the 
foundation embroidery and this way it gets 3 dimentional. I have 2 flower 
buds, 4 green leaves and 2 full blomed flowers in dimentional embroidery on 
this bag.
It really looks much more difficult than it is, i was quite surprised how 
easy it was done and also how lovely it looks when embroidery gets 
dimentional.

Re: [h-cost] valois embroidery

[Becky]

I'm using this for the main design of my gown. The lady who suggested 
researching it more has written several books on the tablet weaving and trim 
of that time. She suggested lace but I like the embroidery designs. I found 
a site that had couching and trupunto for the time. I like those as well, so 
I'm combining techniques to make my own gown front.
I printed the picture and have been trying to refine the details on the 
dress. I wasn't sure about some of it. I researched the metal threads on the 
front when I studied Ancient textiles in school. This technique was in my 
Japanese class. The metal is a wrapped cotton thread that can be made into 
TINY knots that were forbidden to all except the emperor. it often made the 
seamstress go blind, or so the book said. It is the same technique in 
Mandarin medallions, if you're interested. It is couched alot also. It looks 
like a solid metal thread but it isn't. It takes an eye piece to see the 
details up close.
I loved those classes on ancient textiles. 9Hnads-on was great. We had the 
actual fabrics from Peruvian mummies and Japanese dynasties)Now I'm learning 
about Renaissance textiles.

Thanks to the enlargement of the forepart section, I have pretty much the

There are two types of stylized irises. The one that looks like a tulip 
when
looking at the full portrait is a bearded iris design and the other looks 
to

be Dutch, Siberian or unguicularis (Greek iris). It's probably the Dutch.
Thank you Becky for inspiring me to do more research on this gown.
I have some salmon coloured satin that I have set aside some time back for
this gown with a cream instead of white for the sleeves and forepart.
Now if only I get down to at least a size 18 which is probably going to

Re: [h-cost] Elizabeta's Garb was: attaching feathers to a hat

[Becky]

I saw that one. I didn't know that was the dress in the discussion. I love 
that dress. I don't know if I'm that bold to wear orange and that hat. If I 
had somewhere to wear it, I would though. I'm working on my Renaissance 
dress and can't wait to wear it to the Ren Fair this year.

Can you send a link so I can see the costume? Sounds like what I'm doing 
and it might help me.

RE: [h-cost] attaching feathers to a hat

I was successful by sewing a stitch thru the hat, making a loop around the 
quill, repeat, tie off.

I'm curious, those of you who make or wear hats... how do you keep the 
feathers on? I've got two purchased hats and it seems the feathers are 
always sliding out of the hatband, especially when it's windy (which it is 
constantly here in the midwest). The quill part seems to be so thick that 
the pressure of the hatband itself isn't enough to hold it, moreso when 
there's more than one.


Is it possible to use pins? I can't see pins going through the thickness of 
these two hats, or the feathers (without splitting them). Safety pinning to 
the band is just ugly.
